May is the month to start planning your “Race Day” wardrobe.  With Surrey events including Royal Ascot at the end of May, Epsom Derby on the first weekend of June and Henley Regatta, the first week of July these events always calls for sleek and stylish attire and Ladies Day hats to get you noticed and papped.

The key is to strike a balance between elegance and individuality while keeping in mind the formality of the event.

One of our favourite looks was from the latest Dolce & Gabbana Women’s SS/25 Collection. A Chiffon midi dress with smock stitching and micro-polka dot print at £3,800. Floaty and dreamy – perfect for race day events.

A signature suit for such occasions would typically feature sharp tailoring, perhaps in a classic colour like charcoal, navy blue or powder blue.

A short or mid-length dress would look stunning too. We fell in love with this Ralph Lauren blue cape dress a snip at £279.

And silk is always a winning look. Go for a cream silk skirt like this one from Arrange with a knit drop waist, on ASOS for £140. Or go for a showstopping red dress like this calf length New Look satin number embossed with floral detail for only £39.99.
